My Wed & Thursday Workout Log

After taking 2 days to recover from this past weekends grueling, workouts it was time to get back to business. During my recovery days, I do light drills with my clients and lots of stretching and flexibility, core work, and good old fashion walking. Wed & Thursday are usually 2 a day workouts. Short intense workouts usually 30 to 60 minutes. In the mornings I am either at the Capitol View fitness studio in SW DC or Bally's near 20th & L Street in NW DC. In the late afternoon I usually will either hit the track at Howard HS or the local playground for some bar work & TRX. If I miss one of these workouts I usually make it up on a Friday (usually another rest day) at either Bally's NYC at 19th & 6th ave or Bally's Downtown Crossing in Boston. This week I kinda made up my own 'Metabolic Finisher' inspired by a fitness buddy of mine Mike Whitfield a certified Turbulence Trainer. 'Metabolic Finishers', another form of interval training, are exercises performed at the END of your workout session design to ignite your metabolism, torching fat. Also, I came up with a stability circuit inspired by another fitness buddy Kris Buxenbaum whose got this sickest stability exercises in his arsenal.

Agility Ladder Drills (34ft up & back 68ft total) 4x:
In-Outs
Icky shuffle
Lateral Shuffle
High Knees
Fast Sprint
Mummy Kicks


6 100m sprints (focused on form and stride)


2 Football field suicides bare foot. (This is an ULTIMATE ASS KICKER)
Sprint 25 yds from goal line and back
Sprint 50 yds from goal line and back
Sprint 75 yds from goal line and back
Sprint 100 yds from goal line and back
***These are tricky because you need to pace yourself. A moderate sprint pace. If you try to gunnit you WILL pass out unless you are an elite 400m sprinter. Just faster than a fast jog will do the trick. And doing it barefoot is better.


Cool downed with one last agility ladder drill and static stretching.

Resistance and Cardio Playground Workout




I was hard pressed to get in a good workout but was in an area where I had no immediate access to a gym or a well equipped track. I am not much of a jogger so going for a jog is usually an option as a very very last resort. So walking around the neighborhood I found a playground (JACKPOT). In fact this playground had the nice rubberized shock absorbent surface an nice little platforms for doing step up or plyo. With my jump rope and resistance bands (never leave home with out them) I was able to get in a fantastic workout doing the following circuit.

Warm-up
Jumping Jacks
Knee-ups
Running in place
Stretching (upper body, quads, hamstrings, calves, & back)

The Circuit

  1. Jump rope (100 reps)
  2. Incline push-ups (20 reps-30 reps)
  3. Jump rope (100 reps)
  4. Pull-ups (10-12 reps)
  5. Jump rope (100 reps)
  6. Resistance Band Overhead triceps (10-20 reps)
  7. Jump rope (100 reps)
  8. Step-ups (20 reps)
  9. Jump rope (100 reps)

REST 1-2 minutes but keep moving.

Repeat this circuit 3 to 4 times for a complete resistance/cardio workout early in the morning to rev up your metabolism or when ever you can sneak it in at your local playground. This workout assumes the playground is equipped with the following:


  • Monkey bars for pull-ups
  • Bench or platform for step-ups and push-ups 
  • Any type of way to anchor the resistance-band high enough for usage or use the bench for tricep dips.

P90X from the Perspective of People Like You and Me

Beachbody.com markets some of the best home fitness programs on the market today. I myself like P90x and Insanity simply because they incorporate old school exercises that we use to do in PE class in school. Some of those same exercises I still incorporate in my regular routines even prior to my knowledge of the P90x program or the other Beachbody products. I used P90X myself 2 years ago and got magnificent results. Now as I focus my career entirely on the fitness industry I wanted another challenge so now I am currently evaluating Shaun T's Insanity workout. I will provide my personal results at the end of 60 days.



I am sure some of you have seen the infomercials on TV for both P90X and Insanity. And they usually provide you with testimonials of users of the program. Well my goal in this post today is to provide you with some actual real everyday folks who posted their progression with P90X on Youtube. Listed here are some great transformations from the You Tube community check them out:

This one is my personal favorite because of the fact that she demonstrated some of the exercises and how she modified them which is OK because the main thing with all of these programs is that you may not be able to keep up with these fitness gurus in the beginning and you do not want to risk injury.



These are some other good ones to look at as far as seeing how they stuck with the program to get great results.



Get Ripped in 90 Days

The Terry Crews Workout

PROTECT THIS HOUSE. I WILL.

Terry Crew's Workout Routine

You may know him from one of his many projects, "Everybody Hates Chris", "Idiocracy", "Friday After Next", and "White Chicks", are some of my favorites. There is long list of other projects Crews has been involve with or had guest appearances (Euro Training from "My Wife and Kids" was classic see video below). But what some may not know is that Crew was a former NCAA and NFL football player who takes his health and fitness VERY serious as noted by his ripped physique in the recent Old Spice campaigns. Well for all of you serious body builders looking to get ripped like Crews, here is his weekly workout routine.

  • ARNOLD PRESS
  • LATERAL RAISE
  • BENT OVER REVERSE FLY (four sets of 10 reps with dumbbells; no rest in between each exercise)

  • LEG EXTENSIONS/LEG CURLS (four sets)
  • AB ROLLER (100-200 reps)
As far as his diet goes, Crews simply practices portion control and does not deprive himself of foods that he likes. Just knows how to limit himself by the power of practicing self dicipline. A simple common sense approach to health. Also, noted in the article on Findarticles.com that posted his workout is stated that Crews keeps protein powder handy when he is not able to get a decent meal. Also an excellent idea. Never ever deprive your body of nourishment. Listed below are some items I keep on hand to prevent my body from going into starvation mode:

  • MET-Rx Protein Plus
  • Slim Fast Ready Shakes
  • All-Natural Peanut Butter (and a plastic spoon)
  • Foil Packaged Tuna (comes in the foil-like packages)
